Synopsis
Spoiler shield
Suzanne is a former singer but also a seductress in her sixties. During a reunion meal with the former musicians of the orchestra that accompanied her on her tours, the young men in love with the lady all hope to seduce her. All except one, who mysteriously finds death in the elevator, hanging by his tie. A hecatomb among the suitors begins. An employee of the morgue decides to launch a personal investigation.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
